Walterre Villa has four exquisitely appointed rooms: the Peacock, the Oriole, the Mallard and the Tragopan. Each room has a distinctive, antique four-poster bed, and its own ensuite bathroom decorated with charming period tiles. The walls are adorned with rare natural history lithographs from the owner's collection, sourced from all over the world.
The Peacock The Peacock Room has the colours of the bird reflected in its furniture. The canopied bed, writing desk and dressing table are inset with glass paintings depicting the God Krishna. It has a private sitting area overlooking the front garden.
The Oriole An entire wall of the Oriole is frescoed with paintings of birds done in the 'chinoiserie' style. The room overlooks a steep hillside which comes alive with birdsong. The large en suite bathroom with its distinctive bathtub adds to a comfortable and luxurious experience.
The Mallard As the name suggests, this room is decorated with paintings of ducks and other water-birds. It has its own unique four-poster bed and a large Sri Lankan period chest made of different kinds of wood. The Trangopan This large room with a four-poster bed and a large sitting area is ideal for small families with young children. A delicate Chinese painted screen adorns one wall.

Amenities |
Electricity and Air-conditioning Each room is equipped with air-conditioning. However, we ask you to be sparing in its use and, to preserve resources, not to leave the air-conditioning on whilst your room is unoccupied or when doors and windows are open. You can adjust the controls to a suitable evening temperature if you wish to use the air-conditioning while sleeping - we recommend you maintain the temperature between 19-21 degrees with low to medium fan strength. All rooms are heated in winter. Power outages are common in India. Waltèrre has a dedicated generator which turns on after a few minutes in the event of a power-cut. You will also find candles and torches in your room.
Communications The house has wi-fi and internet and all mobiles work in the area.
Library You are in the house of a publisher. The Waltèrre Library holds several books to suit all kinds of readers. Feel free to browse through all books at any time during your stay. We appreciate your leaving them behind for future guests to enjoy. English newspapers are available.
Towels Bath towels are provided for your use, but for the sake of the environment please re-use them unless they are soiled. Towels are changed every two days. If you require a change, please leave your towel in the linen basket.
Water It's precious everywhere, and Walterre Villa is no different. Please use it sparingly.
Sunburn The tropical sun is strong, even in the cool hills, and when deceptively hidden by clouds. We advise applying a lotion or cream with a high sun protection factor (spf) and avoiding overexposure to direct sunlight, to prevent sunburn and sunstroke.
Yoga Walterre retains the service of a Yoga expert, who provides both short and long term lessons. Please let us know if you want to use his services. Payments are made directly to him.
